2012 Mini Coupe

The all-new 2012 Mini Coupe now is more sportiest-looking with seating strictly for two. The first “three-box” MINI also sits 52mm or 2.05-inches lower than its three-door hatchback counterpart. Notably, it also features an active rear spoiler that extends automatically at 80 km/h (50 mph) to optimize airflow at highway speeds. Do you know info about the new MINI Coupe?

2012 MINI Coupe keeps the hatchback model’s familiar dashboard design and layout sprinkled with new colors and exclusive trim materials. The absence of a rear seat bench creates a larger 280-litre boot that can also be opened from the driver’s or passenger’s seat. Mini has tried to improve the car’s practicality with the larger door bins, three cupholders and a cross-rack behind the seats.

2012 MINI Coupe is available a choice of three 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engines, including a naturally aspirated version with 122HP for the base Cooper, plus turbocharged variants with 184HP for the Cooper S and 211HP for the flagship John Cooper Works model. There’s also a 2.0-liter turbo diesel churning out 143HP for the Cooper SD.



The MINI Cooper Coupé comes with 15-inch alloy wheels as standard, with a 16-inch version fitted to the MINI Cooper S Coupé and MINI Cooper SD Coupé. The MINI John Cooper Works Coupé is specified with 17-inch, weight-optimised alloy wheels in JCW Cross Spoke CHALLENGE styling.



Technical Specifications

All MINI Coupe four-cylinder petrol engines come with BMW Group's VALVETRONIC technology - a fully variable valve control system which adjusts valve lift and opening times in direct relationship to the driver's command on the throttle pedal, delivering more torque and better fuel consumption.
